For the Love of Plants: Planted Structure in Garden Design, with Arne Maynard

For the Love of Plants: Planted Structure in Garden Design, with Arne Maynard

Acclaimed @arnemaynardgardendesign talking from his home in Wales, explains how he creates planted structure, talking through some of his signature plants and explaining how he uses them in his designs.
Arne Maynard is known for his love of plants and uses them to create year-round structure in his garden designs. Pleached fruit creates a wonderful boundary feature, topiary adds drama and geometry and sculpted earthworks provide texture and layers that can be clipped or left to meadow, depending on the season. In this online lecture, delivered live by Arne from Allt y bela, his home in Wales, UK, he will explain how he creates planted structure, talking us through some of his signature plants and explaining how he uses them in his designs. Using photographs and short films from his own garden and some private gardens he has designed that are rarely seen by the public, this lecture will give viewers a personal insight into Arne’s love of plants. @classicist_org
